About Ietf
INTRODUCTION
IETF is the acronym for Internet Engineering Task Force. It is one of the standard–setting organizations formed in 1986 and it is an organized activity of a non-profit organization which is The Internet Society (ISOC). IETF also was a platform to consort contractors for the Internet core gateway system and the U.S. Defence Advanced projects Agency (DARPA). Recent researches of IETF (IETF, 2004) has reviewed that IETF is an open, large and international community made up of network designers, researches, operators, and vendors. IETF is in charge of the internet protocols and the development of the internet. Their main concern is about the development of the Internet architecture and the smoothness of the operation of Internet. In order to promote and develop internet standards, communities such as ISO/IEC, and W3C had closely cooperated and dealing standards related to internet protocols and TCP/IP with IETF. Since IETF is an open organization, there are no formal membership’s requirements. All participants and managers are worked voluntarily even if some are sponsored or funded.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Further research (David Meyer and Leslie Daigle, 2005) states that the goal of IETF is to make the internet work better. Every individual working group of IETF are in charge of the actual technical work in different areas such as Intellectual Property Rights, IP Version 6 Working Group, IP Security Protocol and so on. Much of the works is handled and holds discussion via mailing list or at IETF meetings. IETF meetings will be held three times in a year. These working groups are managed by Area Director. Area Director is the member of Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Internet Architecture Board (IAB) appeals when the IESG was being complained that it has failed. The IETF is best known for its seminal design contributions of the Internet and the applications. The Request for Comments (RFC) that published by IETF is to describe methods,
